Chicago Blackhawks fan Alexis Bovard walked away from her first NHL game with one heck of a story…and probably a headache as well.
Early in the first period of the Blackhawks-Oilers game Friday night, Benoit Pouliot hit Niklas Hjalmarsson hard into the boards in the Chicago end – so hard in fact that a pane of glass was dislodged and it fell into the crowd, landing on Bovard.
“If I even remember correctly, I was watching the game and you know the big hits come to the glass and the next thing I know the glass is on my head and blood is everywhere and people are all around me and I make it up the stairs and hear all these applause, which was nice to hear,” Bovard told Sportsnet’s Gene Principe during the game.
